The cost of uniforms is the reason (be efficient on this question)—really nice understanding of the arguments—EMPHASIS—make the impact argument a little stronger, not it could lead to violence, but it is
2nd—good summarty of your primary arguments—you still want to hit emphasis (your examples are really nice though)--strength
Rebuttal Redo Thursday 8/17
1-need some body confidence to go along with this--the resentment and aggrivation is also a case turn right, impact it that way--speak in tag lines
2-confidence needs more, but you have brought your body much more under control and your impacts are much more concise--you still need to work on repetitiion as well--the overpop argument is actually quite well done
Rebuttal Redo (Liz)
The biggest thing you need to work on is word economy. You don't need to restate the contentions you are going for. Also, if possible you should wield the aff against their contentions (for instance how does English language education solve not being able to communicate with teachers and solve the bullying that happens when you are an adult who is not proficient in English?)
All in all the aff case is okay, although you have staked out extra topical plan. We still want to work on impacts though, for instance, on the heg advantage try to be more specific about where in the world an increase in US heg would be helpful. Negative case has some good ideas, but needs some more work on structure, as is the uniqueness is going the wrong way and the K criticizes imperialism but says that the impact is increased heg, this doesn't make any sense. The aff is still a little in the knee jerk reaction stage, which is to just argue against everything the neg said, when if you see what's going on strategically, you don't need to do that. For instance pointing out that their uniqueness goes the wrong way for them means you don't need to argue uniqueness going the opposite way. Everyone needs a little more work on time allocation, that means taking questions and also recognizing which arguments are important and which aren't (for instance this free clinics argument). The rebuttals are pretty good, the neg rebuttal is a little strange, but that mostly comes from the fact that the strategy doesn't make a lot of sense. The aff rebuttal is pretty strong, there aren't really new arguments and it's just an explanation of why we're winning our positions, we just need to take the final step to compare the probability, timeframe, magnitude and why our aff is the winning the round.
Impact Comparison Drill 8/12
--make sure you don’t just do this as reading, but nice job with lots of diverse ideas
--need to be more direct in your comparison to racism
--while you don’t need to bang on the computer, you are actually really pumping up your ethos
--don’t just read what you have pre-written, make sure to comcpare that directly with heg, maybe criticize what heg is even about
Topicality Drill 8/13
--nice distinction at the top---then you need to be responding specifically to the arguments they make line by line
--try to look up to get involved in the debate, you have this a lot more once you start talking to people
Practice Debate 8/14/14 (Baxter)
Get mad in the 1ac, gotta be more forceful and demanding here
Start off on the meta level, what competitive or offensive arguments are the negative making? What do you want to do with those?
--start with an overview, what specifically do you solve for, why is that important?
--impacts for the test scores and economy and race arguments
--don’t have to hesitate as much around the “im not being racist” part—just explain that this is “systemic racism” or “institutional racism”
--don’t give your oppnents arguments to get enough time
--not enough time doing the cp offense arguments—start with those
